ABSTRACT:
An improved item of furniture, especially a table with a cable channel, is characterized by the following features: on a mounting device there are base bodies lying offset from one another and positioned in the longitudinal direction of the cable channel. On each of the base bodies there is a support rail, each pivotable around a rotating axis, between a cabling position hanging down and a support position facing it and extending at least for the most part parallel to the cable channel, in the operating position the cable channel is raised up so far that the rotating axis lies underneath the cable channel. An abutment, lying offset from the rotating axis, is constructed on the support rails, wherein the cable channel in the dropped cabling position directly or indirectly rests on the abutment in a lower lying plane relative to the raised operating position.
